More than 5,000 people are expected to crowd into Liberty Plaza at the Georgia State Capitol as part of the demonstration. Channel 2 Action News will bring you LIVE coverage throughout the day on Channel 2 and on the free WSB-TV News App. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Organizers told Channel 2's Richard Elliot that they've actually been working with state and local law enforcement to make sure everything goes off peacefully.
